ok so do u i guess in a way level up by just keep posting reply and threads and how do u become a contributer? and what does it mean like ability to do things?

 

level up just by number of posts/threads/replies you have. If you become a contributor you can attach images and you dont have to host them on the internet.

 

uhh. i think after a certain amount of threads/posts you become stage II. i became stage II last week. it goes up to stage X from what i've seen. a contributor means you pay a yearly fee (i want to say $20) and you pay via PayPal. just dont post unless you need to. there is no "higher authority" when it comes to what stage member you are, unless you are an administrator and you have control over what is said.

 

Also contributors get a bigger avatar.

 

ok so when do u get to post in the how to's because it wont let me post in there

 

you can post in the "how-to submissions" but not in the main how to section.

Level 1 is 0-100 posts level 2 is 101-500 level 3 is 501-idk i havent gotten that far.

 

i have around 900 post but i dont see where it says it at

 

980...it says in you profile.

 

you have "contributor" instead of the stage title.

 

i got that much i just didnt know what else there was and thanks for helpin a noobie lol

 

ok i was close lol before i made that post i thought it said 930 then i looked after i made that post and it said 980 and i was to lazy to correct it.

 

so when do you become a contributor?

 

After you pay 15 dollars.

 

is it yearly?

 

yup

 

so wat does it contribute to?

 

yea, the site and stuff...development/server or whatever.

 

Haha development, what development. Its just for the owner to make money even though hes never on the site anymore. I bet the servers cost a max of 500 bucks a year and Christian is pulling in double that.

 

LOL, ur prob right but w/e its cool. Let him pocket 500 bucks i like this site a lot haha.

 

so basicly your saying not to contribute because its just making another guy money? jw?

 

nope, because if people didnt contribute it prob wouldnt be here, but i myself dont because id rather not ask my dad for more $$

 

I contributed for the larger avatar and the larger PM box to be honest. I'd do it again though, this site has given me a lot so I don't mind giving the owner some money for keeping it open. I just wish we would see him around the site some more.

 

dude sign me up where do i pay?

 

Go to Quick Links on the top row, the first option under that pulldown arrow it where you start if you want to become a contributor. It guides you through the steps after that. I almost signed up but then realized I didn't have a PayPal account.

 

maybe use the money to sponser events or somthing i just think there could be other uses for it IMO
